lyrics

I’ve got an aching heart that’s common I suppose
A vehicle that starts every time we go
Our separate ways towards the lives we lead
Not really counting days until we reconvene

We aim for quiet nights that sometimes turn out loud
But what’s there to be said I haven’t figured out
We battle with our strengths but there’s we know won’t break

And open wide and shout into the sky
Nothing’s awry if a 100 days go by

Strobe lights in pints
I wish you well
I’ll sober up in time

Affection leaves the shade where alcohol’s involved
It also masks the aches we didn’t mean to call
“Say Good-bye” he says, so matter-of-fact
Just to give us space without a lack of tact

I love it when we talk I love it when we don’t
We’re not so far apart for it all to corrode
I’m still open-armed and I’m still my mother’s son

And when alone, and drunk, and stumbling home
And shoulders hunched I still can take a punch

Strobe lights in pints
I wish you well
I’ll sober up in time

Road signs, dimmed lights, complacency in dire straights
All kinds of glass eyes, my social state is all but commonplace

Strobe lights in pints
I wish you well
I’ll sober up in time
- and burry me in Philly when I die
